From the Free Republic blog commenters, courtesy of Balloon Juice:

What goes around comes around...

One less nazi as far as I am concerned.

This isn't good, boys and girls ... not good at all. This serial-killer piece of excrement will be held up by every abortionist and every lover of abortionists as the reason why the Secret Service needs to be assigned to guard every abortionist, every abortion mill and every lover of abortions in this country.

nick is a troll..I’ve noticed he’s been posting daily kos crap for the last few days. I think there are several Obamabots on Fr fomenting dissension.

I’m disappointed that Sully didn’t quote me. I had some good lines. =(

>>>Have I missed the outrage over the military recruiter that was just killed in AK?<<<

Yes, you did. Zero gave a press conference denouncing the heinous crimes committed by our military, and how it was only a matter of time before someone “took things into their own hands” in their zeal to right perceived wrongs. Oh, and Medea Benjamin and StarHawk were at his side.

Eric Holder is sending the FBI to protect Nation of Islam mosques.

Film at 11:00.

Andy Sullivan thinks homosexual activity is somehow pro-choice?
That's kinda funny, and sick.

Oops! Link to mentioned comments is at balloon juice:
Update. I’m not usually one for nutpicking, but the Freeper comments on this are unusually appalling. (They’ll probably be taken down but here they are permanently: pdf1;pdf2)
I think he's confused as to which group likes self-censorship.

[colorado tanker]

that's not reason enough to let the thug media put the Cause of Life or the majority of Americans on the defensive

But that's exactly what will happen.

I was gone for a couple of days.

Some of the comments I’ve read make me quite literally ill. I know that people are speaking freely, but at NO POINT will I ever justify, rationalize, defend or explain a murderer who went into a church (or anyplace else) and killed someone in cold blood.

I know that people are passionate about the issue of abortion, but this man was murdered. If you are going to excuse the murderer, these are scarier times that we can even concieve.

Because excusing him means you have just painted a target on everyone’s head. Any soldier returning from war might be considered by some to be a “murderer” and so, it’s excusable if they are killed. Some might consider it “justice”...we would think that kind of thought is dangerously radical...

So, how does excusing the doctor’s killer not make YOU a dangerous radical?

It is reprehensible that anyone would make any comment except that men should not be gunned down in cold blood.

I will be watching to see what develops after this taking of innocent life in Arkansas. These victims are members of our military.

Some may hate them with a passion because they disagree with the war. That is no excuse to take the law into your own hands.

We are a nation of laws. There’s a reason.

[roses of sharon]

Yep, all last night he was posting from the most obscure moonbat sites.

These events are always good bait for FR’s trolls, they can't help themselves.

Some here on the “right” are still super invested in Hussein, others are simply those who do not like social conservatives in the Republican party.

So they sidle up with the left to try and discredit so-cons and other rightwingers who they feel are too hard on the left.

[the invisib1e hand]

But that's exactly what will happen.

Punch. Counterpunch. Duck. Punch.

It's a fight.

[Lando Lincoln]

definitely not representative of FR or conservatives.

My reading of the threads indicates these kinds of postings are the rule rather than the exception.

We sure can be good at fouling our own nest.

[Clinging Bitterly]

It's sad that elitist gasbags will take those things and make hay, but it doesn't make sense either to pretend away one's views to appease them.

It appears some folks are saying what they think.

The ends do not justify the means IMO (rule of law and all), but I won't pretend to not think fewer "doctors" killing unborn children is good.

[Mamzelle]

re: Not surprising. I wish people would think before they post.)))

I wouldn't be surprised if Andrew or some of his ilk were doing the posting! Found a newbie yesterday who joined just to post about the murder. When something like this happens, we ought to go into "watch for disruptors pretending to be freepers to make FR look bad" mode.

[the invisib1e hand]

We sure can be good at fouling our own nest.

There are FRinos to be considered.

Did you click on the Balloon Juice link? OMG - the dregs of the internet!

You know what they say, you want it bad, you get it bad. Nothing like getting whacked in church, at least he was close to his god.

A right to life individual has gunned down a physician who committed late term abortions.

People who see the killing of the unborn as murder, are pleased that this doctor will no longer be committing abortions.

An Army recruiter has been gunned down and killed on a Little Rock street.

People who see the recruitment of young men and women as evil, because some of them might be killed or severely wounded in action, are pleased this person will no longer be recruiting our youth to serve in the armed forces.

Whatever my opinion on both of these events is, it's not my opinion that matters.  What matters is that there are people out there who will support one of these two events.  I don't support either of them.

When we abandon the law, to conduct or approve of one of these actions, we make it reasoned for people who disagree with us to resolve their differences by the same method.

We don't agree with late term abortions.  They don't agree with recruitment.  Each of us thinks the other group approves of terrorist tactics.

I see a lot of folks winking and nodding around here.  They are so thrilled that an abortion doctor has just been forcably 'retired'.  Folks, these two events should be a good example of why you are incredibly wrong to be somewhat happy about the abortion doctor's murder.  You don't seem to understand that when hunting season is open, so you can resolve your differences with a gun, hunting season is also open for others to resolve their differences with a gun.

Do we want to see Wall Street people gunned down?  Do we want to see bankers gunned down?  Do we want to see Pastors gunned down?  Do we want to see judges gunned down?  Do we want to see Conservatives gunned down?

When you open the doors to street justice, you allow anyone with a gun to become judge and juror.

I find both of these murders to be unacceptable.  The ramifications are too dire to contemplate.  If people who profess to support the rule of law are willing to wink and nod when people they disapprove of are gunned down, then we've lost the battle.  Conservatism is dead.

[MrB]

Conservatives will not be killed by liberals.

Liberals, by their very nature, require gov’t agents to do their killing for them.

It will be outside the rule of law, but it will be the government being the “trigger man”.

[central_va]

You are making an argument with two things that are in no way morally equivilent. Your argument that military recruiting and peforming abortions are morally equivilent is preposterous. You need to rethink this position, you insult all military people and all citizens of this country.

[DoughtyOne]

So you’re saying the recruiters were shot by whom? Conservatives? Give your comment a little more thought.

While I agree that the government is leftist right now, and so some of the left’s goals will be carried out by the government, it’s clear the private sector leftists are capable of gunning people down. We just saw one do it.

[bvw]

No. But with the swearing-in by the Chief Justice Roberts of the non-”Natural Born” usurper Obama — the Rule if Law is comatose.

“Some here on the “right” are still super invested in Hussein,”

Right! I was exchanging with Andy Jackson yesterday who was an Obamachev apologist and, he says, he’s a conservative.

How can that be? What form of contorted, brain cramping, reasoning allows a conservative to support ObaMugabe?

I just figured he’s nuts.
